The trend of the season, and one that has come back again and again is the ‘cat eye’ of the 1950s and ’60s. It’s definitely one achievable on your own. If you’re not confident about applying make-up, the secret to any eye liner application is to draw the lines first, and then clean them up to look the way you want. Draw the lines first- using a long-bristle paint-brush style eyeliner brush – and then go over them again for extra drama. use a fine-pint cotton bud to clean up the lines and create the desired look that suits you best. Just keep practicing!

My favourite eyeliner gel is Mac’s fFuidline Blacktrack gel eyeliner, which I find to be ultra-smooth and easy to apply, as well as long-wearing and smudge-proof.
